Chapter 117 Chapter 117
For people like the zither player, the theater is the best place to increase fame and make the most money.
The so-called Goulan Washe, in layman's terms, is a city's commercial and entertainment center, and Goulan is a place built in it specifically for performances, with extremely luxurious interior and exterior decoration.
Paper Ibis looked up at the tall building in front of it, eyes full of shock and excitement: "Oh my God, this is the first time I've been to a place like this in my life. It's so big, so gorgeous, and so magnificent, just like a palace!"
"This is just the beginning. Our human race's palace is much more magnificent than this one." Axue said proudly.
"Really? Sister Xue has been to the palace?"
"I have seen it." Ah Xue raised her head proudly: "I... have traveled all over the world and have been to many places. The imperial palace is nothing to me."
"Axue is so amazing..."
Listening to the conversation behind him, the Demon King of the Imperial Palace did not fall into deep thought. He looked at the program lists posted on the signboard, and the dense words made him dizzy.
It's tiring enough to face the mountain of words all day long, but now I can't escape even if I split myself into two and go to the human world to slack off?
"What's the name of the musician?" You Lin turned around and asked.
"Her stage name is Liu Niang, but it may also be written as Liu Liu on the program list." Axue said without hesitation.
"Liuliu." Hearing this name, You Lin's mouth twitched, and then he quietly sent a message to Feng Huang: "Is Liuliu taking good care of the house?"
"Hmm? What does Liuliu have to do with it?"
Not far away, Liuliubenliu sneezed loudly.
"Chirp?" My dad misses me?
"Girls, do you want to listen to the music of our Miss Liu Liu?" A strange voice came from behind. Feng Huang turned around and saw a man dressed as a doorman standing there, walking towards them with an enthusiastic look on his face.
He had a strange makeup on his face, which looked weird and funny.
"Miss Liu Liu is the last one to appear here." He pointed to the program list. The four of them looked in the direction of his finger and saw the word "Liu Liu" as expected.
Ah Xue's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, it's here. Thank you."
Fortunately, we arrived not too late and were able to catch up.
As Xue was about to go in, the doorman suddenly blocked her way with his body. Xue moved to the left, and the doorman followed suit, refusing to give in. After this happened so many times, Xue got annoyed: "What's the matter?"
"Tickets." The doorman smiled and held out his hand.
“……”Oh no, I forgot about this.
…
"Let's watch it here." This little episode didn't affect Ah Xue's mood. She picked a small private room on the second floor. Although it was a bit expensive, it was the best viewing area, facing the big stage below, and everything below could be seen clearly.
"But they say that the demon has a human body, an ox head and snake eyes. One look at him makes your legs tremble. Two looks at him make you so frightened that you wish you could dig your own eyes out..."
"Huh, we just got to the storytelling room." At this time, Axue did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
"…The good lady was captured by the demon and taken into the cave, unable to escape. Just when she was about to sever her meridians, suddenly, there was a golden explosion, and the demon's cave was split in half by a sword. The demon was furious, picked up a hammer as big as a sandbag and jumped out, saying: "You little brat, how dare you destroy my cave? Hurry up and tell me your name!"
"The young man in white stood with his hands behind his back, forming a sword flower with one hand, and sneered, saying: I will never change my name, I am Shen Wuming! The demon was greatly shocked: What, it turned out to be the Sword Saint known as the Nameless Swordsman!"
In the private room, You Lin stuffed a piece of flower cake in his mouth and couldn't help but complain to Feng Huang: "Shouldn't it be that you can change your name or surname?"
Feng Huang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Shen Wuming is using an alias?"
Zhiyi was surprised and said, "It's actually the story of the nameless hero! I've heard of his name. He calls himself Shen and the nameless swordsman, so everyone likes to call him Shen Wuming. This hero is mysterious, powerful, and especially gentle. I strongly recommend you to read his book...storybook."
"If I could meet him one day, I would definitely ask him for an autograph on my treasured painting." Paper Ibis said this while clasping his hands together and his eyes sparkling. He didn't look introverted at all.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Phoenix seemed to hear a creaking sound, as if something was hitting the floor hard.
Ah Xue stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and waved her hand nonchalantly: "This story is too old-fashioned. I come here every time and it's always the same story. There's nothing new about it. Do you know how to play Go? We're just waiting anyway, why not try it?"
Hearing this, Phoenix's eyes lit up, and she no longer pursued what the sound was: "Okay."
You Lin refused. Although Zhiyi didn't understand, she liked watching others play, so she also raised her hand to show her agreement.
Soon the waiter brought a chessboard.
"Black moves first, please." Phoenix stroked the chess piece in his hand, in a good mood.
Go is also very popular among the demon race, and even Phoenix would occasionally look for someone to play a game with. Unfortunately, everyone thought his moves were too fierce and murderous, and no matter who won or lost, no one wanted to play with him after one game.
You Lin was willing to play, but Feng Huang thought he was a bad player and that winning would not give him a sense of accomplishment, so she ruled him out. After all these rounds, the only person who was willing to play with him was Ah Xue.
Ah Xue also looked very happy. Perhaps because she traveled a lot, Ah Xue's horizons were broader than those of ordinary people, and her state of mind was also different. Her chess moves were like a sword unsheathed, with its sharp edge exposed. She couldn't hold back for a moment, and her moves were even more ferocious than a phoenix.
Fortunately, after a few moves, Fenghuang and Axue understood immediately. They looked up at each other, their eyes full of excitement and excitement of meeting a destined chess friend, as well as a sense of mutual respect between rivals.
So neither of them held back, and used all their killing moves. The black and white chess pieces looked like armies fighting on a battlefield, and Paper Bird felt terrified just by watching from the side.
She looked for a while and suddenly found that the sister in white was sitting alone and looked a little lonely, so she quietly went over.
"Why are you sitting here alone? Do you want to come over and watch the game?"
"I don't want to see it."
"I think you are very friendly. My master also likes to have a stern face and not say a word for a long time, but he is very nice to us."
"Yeah." The cold Miss Lin nodded.
"I feel like these storytellers keep telling the same thing over and over again. It's so boring."
"Um."
“…”
As the saying goes, when two i's meet, there must be an e. The relatively not-so-i will always become the one who takes the initiative to socialize.
Zhiyi thought about it and decided to use her best friend-making weapon. She lowered her voice and whispered, "Sister, do you want to read the storybook?"
Seeing her sneaking around, You Lin sneered in his heart, thinking: Is she finally going to be exposed? He felt that there was something wrong with this human from the beginning.
"look."
"I knew it." Paper Ion chuckled and took out a small notebook from his bag and handed it over. "This year's most popular storybook collection, a special collector's edition with pictures."
You Lin took it silently, touched the paper inside, and smelled it inconspicuously, but found nothing unusual. Could it be that the problem was the content?
Thinking of this, he opened the cover that sealed all evil.
In addition to the stories about heroes and beauties, talented men and beautiful women, the stories that girls like to read also include those with wilder styles, such as heroes respecting heroes, brotherly love, and love and hatred between old enemies.
It's no big deal.
It is actually quite normal for the human race and the demon race to dislike each other and write some stories to make fun of each other and try their hand at spiritual victory. One of his colleagues is particularly keen on writing stories to make fun of the human race's high-ranking officials while slacking off.
It's no big deal.
However, if time could be turned back, You Lin would definitely choose to throw this book away for 18 miles and put an enlarged version of the Dragon Spear on it as a seal. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. Turning back time is just a daydream when people regret.
There was nothing wrong with the first few pages of the book. It was just about the story of the demon race. As expected, the protagonists were the Dragon Lord, the Phoenix... um, and the Demon King? But it was no big deal. In his eyes, it was just a ridiculous story with the names of people he knew, not to mention that the plot was all made up.
He continued to turn the pages with a curious mindset. In the story, he and Phoenix were still the best friends in heaven and on earth. This was normal, but for some reason he always felt like something was wrong.
Could there be some secret message in it? Looking at the paper eagle's face with a dark and expectant smile, You Lin thought uncertainly.
So he lowered his head and continued to read. Feng Huang played chess faster and faster, and You Lin turned the pages faster and faster.
Zhiyi rubbed his hands in anticipation, while Youlin's hands trembled in fear. When he finished reading the whole book, his expression was blank, and the whole dragon entered into a great harmony of thought. He couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out. Did the Phoenix choose to keep humans because they had overly developed and "abnormal" brains?
The dragon and the phoenix were together day and night and fell in love, but one of them was as dumb as a stick, didn't understand love, flirted without knowing it, and the other restrained love silently accompanied him and waited for him to come to his senses. Fortunately, the affectionate and forbearing dragon got the advice of his friends, and finally mustered up the courage to write a love letter to confess his love. He thought that the clouds had finally cleared and the moon was bright, but he died in the moment when the wooden phoenix saw the love letter. He came to his senses, but he also died, and his long life became a "wifeless" prison sentence.
The story was written with tears in my eyes, twists and turns, heartbreak, anger from heaven and people... Even Long Zun himself couldn't help but shed tears for such a beautiful yet tragic love.
What's the matter? They fall in love with each other over time. It's a beautiful triangle in which Phoenix admires Demon King, Demon King likes Dragon Lord, and Dragon Lord has a crush on Phoenix. He loves him, he loves him, and he loves him too. I love you, but you love the person I hate, and the person I hate loves me. But it doesn't matter, I love you, and I am willing to tolerate everything for you. In the end, the three of them put aside their grudges, returned to their old ways, and lived happily together.
The nine twists and turns of ethics were so outrageous that Yu Lin couldn't help but shout "reverse Tiangang" after reading it.
What kind of demon emperor Dragon Lord forced the couple to marry and then hate each other, and in the end they found out that they actually loved each other. They thought it was going to be a sweet ending, but the topic suddenly changed and she ran away with her baby, and criticized Dragon Lord for chasing his wife to the crematorium...
"Wait, interrupt me, why did the Demon King run away? In the story, weren't they very close?"
Paper Ibis said shyly: "Because of Long Ben x Yin, if you can't stand it, you can run away, right?"
"This is slander... Then what about the egg-holding thing? The Demon King is obviously a man, right?"
"Isn't it said that ancient mythical beasts can become pregnant through feelings? That's what it says in the storybook."
"???????" Sorry, we can't.
What kind of human version of the Demon King and the newly crowned number one scholar Phoenix, as well as his wife Long Zun who has been with him for a long time and is still in his hometown, and the love story of Narcissus who was chosen at first sight during the palace examination and was dragged to the harem to make love and forget about the world.
There is the crazy Demon King who said, "I know you love him, but it doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will spare his life"; the sick beauty Phoenix who is pitiful and unable to resist but has deep love for his wife; and the Dragon Lord who received a divorce letter inexplicably but believed that his lover would not betray him, so he rebelled and took his wife away.
By the way, this is also a piece of literature that is full of philosophical significance and universal values. At least after reading it, You Lin’s mind was filled with the thought: the feudal monarchy deserves to die.
Of course, there is also a version of the book in which the love is forced to turn evil. When describing that plot, You Lin only took a glance at it and then closed the book with a red face. In an instant, he turned from a little white dragon into a little red dragon.
Miss Lin was confused, Miss Lin was shocked, and Miss Lin was horrified, but in the end, Miss Lin still maintained a professional attitude and watched all of them without missing a single one.
What if, what if this story is just a trick played by the enemy?
But the paper iris said excitedly: "How is it? Isn't it great?"
She was provoking me, definitely...
"It's OK." You Lin returned the book expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened. The whole dragon tried to express with his whole body, "Oh, that's it."
"I knew you liked it!" Zhiyi held You Lin's hands and shook them vigorously as if she had met a family member.
You Lin cast a look at Feng Huang for help. Unfortunately, Feng Huang, who was absorbed in playing chess, did not receive the distress signal.
"It's okay, sister, don't be shy, I understand you. If you haven't read enough, I have a few cult classics of matchmaking." As she spoke, she took out several scripts with the same cover like a magician.
She opened the catalog, and You Lin also saw the stories about old enemies - the innocent swordsman Qiao Long Zun, the domineering Demon King, and the cold Human King, etc. The whole dragon was petrified on the spot.
He shivered and glanced at the author - the handsome scholar from all over the world.
Including the previous large collection, among the books that Zhiyi brought out, nine out of ten Lalang books were written by Qiao Shusheng, who can be said to be the largest producer in the world of vernacular novels.
"What a handsome scholar." He gritted his teeth, trying to recall which bastard around him was like this shameless handsome scholar.
"Yeah, he writes very well, right? I also like Qiao Shusheng's writing style, but it's a pity that he only likes to write about the Demon King and others. Although I like these characters too." Zhiyi was very excited.
